Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb. 1990;33(1):1-7.
From the endoprosthesis material with early and late complication and treated with Girdlestone's method (resection arthroplasty of the femoral head) n 36 cases, 27 were available for follow-up after 1-11 years (in average 5 years). The assessment was made with an own point-system. 3 categories were differentiated on the base of these points. From the 27 patients 7 were satisfied, 14 "reconciled", 6 dissatisfied. It could be stated that Girdlestone's operation does not mean a catastrophe, as the major part of the patients has no pain and sinus, is able to walk and to make the domestic work and is not reduced to the care of others.
